Recipe



NOTE: This fruit leather makes a satisfying energy snack and is
delicious in place of chutney on a sandwich.
For an easy appetizer:
Spread 4 tablespoons softened mild goat cheese onto an 8 inch
square of leather. Sprinkle the cheese with 1 tablespoon chopped
pistachios and roll tightly into a log. Chill the log and slice it into
1/4 inch thick rounds.
